where are the oldest layers of rock found? where are the youngest rocks found? explain in 2-4
sentences (4 points)
2) why do you think geologists are especially interested in contacts (where two different rocks
come together) when trying to piece together the history of the canyon’s formation? explain in

the rock, how it was formed/deposited, where it is found in the canyon with respect to other

rock 3:
4) what is an unconformity? where can you find one in the grand canyon? what types of rocks
contact at the “great unconformity,” and about how old is each type of rock? what does the
